Any suggestions for drum machine program???

[mackstann]

On Win2k, I would like a good program that i can create drum loops with to import into pro tools. Even better if theres a free demo. Any suggestions???

Doesn't Pro Tools have a sampler? Are you using the free version?

I've tried some shareware versions and didn't find any that I liked. Then again I'm not proficient with using music software so maybe I wasn't doing it correctly.

yeah its pro tools free version.

Sampled drums never sound good...analogue drum machines rock...
I rarely use some sampled breakloops...
Normally I design the loops with a sequencer like Logic Audio, the samples come out of my soundcards ram...
For stand-alone tools look at propellerheads product palette...

 

Reaktor
Fruity loops

Propellerhead Recycle 2.0 is their current loop editor...check it out here

EDIT: Demo is limited to the samples supplied with the demo...
But perhaps there is a little modification out there...somewhere...

propellerheads, eh?

not looking for anything super hi-end, by any stretch of the imagination. just something to mess with, and use. lo-fi is cool with me.

 

Forgot to add "Reason" by propellerheads.

Try a program called Sequbeat. It is pretty basic and free. Not sure if it works in Win2K
